"Guatemalan authorities issued an arrest warrant on December 6 for journalist Juan Luis Font on charges of collusion and passive bribery. Font, co-director of the news radio show Con Criterio, has been living in exile since 2022 and told CPJ the charges stem from an old case that authorities have repeatedly used to try to incriminate him.
[...]
In March 2022, the former communications minister Alejandro Sinibaldi accused Font of unlawfully associating with former anti-corruption judge Erika Aifán, pointing to Font’s radio interviews with Judge Aifán and tweets in which Font criticized “criminal groups” for allegedly harassing the judge.
[..]
Font told CPJ he denies the allegations, describing them as part of a campaign to discredit him. If convicted, Font faces a potential prison sentence of six to eight years under Guatemalan law."
